ROB JAP IN CHINATOWN
Plucky but Futile Struggle of
One Man Against Three.
PATROLMAN GETS A TARTAR
Finally Overcomes His Man, Who
Carried Gun and "Dope," but
Two Accomplices Escape.
Just before the first streaks of dawn were
&odgins through the narrow alleys and
lighting up the darkened byways of China
town early yesterday morning a Japanese
•lipped quietly out of the doorway of No. 26
IhtJ Ptrcet and started to walk rsjjMly
west. He was small and win' and well
dressed, a gold watch chain showed in his
waistcoat and two rings were on his ris^t.
hand Evidently he was well off in this
world's goods an«! be bore other indications
or prosperity unusual in that neighborhood.
He bad not taken a dozen steps before
he was spotted by three roughly clad men.
who had been awaiting his appearance in a
neighboring hallway. As the little Jap
anese pattered off down Matt street with
q-jirk. nervous step?, the thr»>e men followed
liJm 'swiftly/ overtaking him just as .he
reached the corner of Pell street where It
Joins Mott.
The struggle that followed was carried on
in silence but for the shuffling of the men's
heels or. the sidewalk and. the grunts of the
Japanese, as he felt an iron hand close
about his windpipe. The- «eel musc'.es of
the Oriental, trained in the effective jiu
jitsu attack, broke the hold of the bulky
man who had leaped on htaa from behind,
and Sung him over to the curb.
As the Japanese faced about to meet the
attack of another of his assailants, who
was running in on him with head bent, the
third man of the attacking party crept up
behind him and swung his arm above his
V.cad. then brought it down with stunning
force on th» Japanese's neck. With the
Mow the little foreigner reeled and fell to
the street.
Still Fighting When Robbed.
The three men immediately bent over
the Japanese and began to go through his
pockets. The gold watch and chain, the
two rings and a roll of bills amounting to
SSS were rapidly taken from the helpless
little man. who still continued to struggle
against the overwhelming odds.
Satisfied that they had gleaned everything
of value from their victim, the men
started to run, dodging from one side 01
the narrow street to the other, as is the
custom of the underworld in Chinatown.
The sound of their footsteps echoing
through the musty streets fell on the ears
of Lieutenant Haerle and Patrolmen
Judge and Efennesy. of the Elisabeth street
station, who were standing m the opposite
comer.
The two patrolmen cut across the street
end tried to head off two of the men. but
their speed was not equal to that of the
pursued, and they were soon outdistanced,
Usa hichw-iyroen losing themselves in the
maze of short alleys and ramshackle hovels
on Pell street.-
Lieutenant Haerle sprinted after the third
man and gained on him easily. Within the
Space of a hundred yards he grappled with
tOm and threw him to the ground. The
fellow gained his feet again and fought
■with Haerle fiercely, being more than a
match for him in physical strength. The
■ _ulfllt was the more skilled, however,
when it came down to the trick of foot
tripping, and soon had his man down on
bis back again.
As be lay on th» sidewalk with Haerle
bending over him. the man pulled a large
revolver from his shirt front and pushed
the muzzle close against the lieutenant's
face and pulled the trigger. Instinctively.
Haerle jammed one thumb between the
hammer of the weapon and the plunger
and when tbe hammer descended it lacer
ated the finger, but prevented the discharge
cf the weapon.
Officer Disarms His Man.
Haerle and the highwayman now fought
for the revolver, and after a bitter
(struggle the officer succeeded in wresting
the weapon from his prisoners hand, but
only after he had thrown himself on top of
the man ar.d had fairly choked his breath
off.
Haerle had been roughly used in the bat
tle, and. besides having his uniform almost
ripped from his body, was suffering from
a. severe gash on one knee and the injured
hand. His wounds had to be treated by an
sjmtmtai • surgeon.
Taken to the station house, the prisoner
gave his name as William Metz. a laborer.

caine were found in his pockets and twenty
or thirty empty packages in a belt around
hfta waist. It is believed that the man is a
cocaine seller.
The Japßnes* pave his name as Masco
Kato. a butier in the home of William H.
Russell, of EDglewood. Although he had
not had much opportunity of seeing his as
sailants, Kato -went to the station house,
ard identified Metz as one of his attackers.

to No. 26 Mott Ftreet to visit a cousin of

WOMAN THRASHES BURGLAR
When Patrolman Arrives He
Begs To Be Taken Away.
Mrs. Frances Morgan lives with her hus
: band and two daughters on the second floor
iof No. 969 Broadway, WillUmsburg. She is
L little woman, but possessed of grit and
: muscle, which Eugene Pcrst, of No. 19 Jcf

While the members of the family were
jt.iking an afternoon nap yesterday perst
I descended the rear fire escape from the roof
Lad entered the Morgan apartments through
j a window. Mrs. Morgan was in a room ad
joining the kitchen, while the other mem
bers of the family were in the front of the
house. She was awakened by the noise
made by Perst and saw him In the act of
prying open the window.
I-istead of fainting or going into hysterics
Ifrs. Morgan reached over and picked up a
large, thick hickory stick. With that under
the covers she awaited developments. She
leigneri sleep when Perst crept softly into
che room. He went about the house pick
ing up trinkets and other things that he
could put in his pocket, and had just taken
Mrs. Morgan's pocketbook. containing ?13,
when sli* 3 jumped out of bed.
Perst had Us back to Mrs. Morgan, and
she crept up behind him and dealt him a
blow that brought him to his knees. He
tried to regain his feet, but shfe laid the
stick across his shoulders and back in such
a manner that he bf-gg-ed for mercy. She
made him stand up and empty Ms pockets,
a*d then marched him downstairs. When
Patrolman Seisler, of the Vernon avenue
station, arrived. Perst begged to be taken
away from the woman.
When he was arraigned in the Gates ave

through a thrashing machine. His clothes
were torn and his fare was a mass of
bruises. Tie told the magistrate that he
hoped never to encounter another woman
like Mrs. Morgan. Magistrate Harris thon
held him In $1,000 bail for a further exam

LAUDS THE EX-PRESIDENT
Dr. Broughton, of Georgia, Also
Criticises Church Work.
The Rev. Dr. Len G. Broughton, of At
lanta, preached at the Fifth Avenue Pres
byterian Church yesterday morning on "The
Place of the Christian Church in the World's
Redemption." Dr. Broughton severely
criticised the Christian Church.
"Where is the Church," he said, "with all
its millions and its opportunities? When a
girl goes bad ihe Church supports rescue
mission? for her and weeps and cries over
her : but nothing was done for her at the
beginning that carried with it the saving
gra<-<=- that would liave made her downfall
1 impossible.
"The best investment for philanthropists
to-day is not endowing great universities —
we have enough of them now — but the
greatest opportunity of the Church is to
provide institutions to-day, for instance,
where poor, unfortunate men afflicted with
tuberculosis in its incipient stages could
be saved for thf-ir families and themselves.
We have robbed Gud and we must pay It
back.
"I":* 5 greatest truth I have ever known
was when Abraham Lincoln said that God
had a definite work for him to do ajid a
work that he had committed to no other
man to do. In our lives there is success if
we follow God's scheme for vs — failure only
out of it. To some of you some things I
have said may sound like socialism, but if
it is I pray that God will give us a Chris
tian socialism that will sweep this country.
Wherever there is work to do, God is there,
and I thank God that there is an ex-Presi
dent of the United States that does not
think it undignified to be 'there. 1 "

.A i -rim Boston maiden walked down Sixth

IBS COW OF HER MILK
Hobo Has a Great Feast in New
Jersey Barnyard.
FIRST EMPTIES HEN NEST
Next Took Bossy and at Last
Steals $60 from Farmer —
Chase Him in Vain.
Ko-Koe. the handsome Alderney cow
which grazes in the rich fields of Mr. Fran
cisco, a farmer, one mile from the village
of Caldwell, N. J., is much put out to-day,
because her hospitality was abused to the
extent of five quarts of her best milk,
taken from her under false pretences. Ko-
Koe hangs her head and looks sheepish
and chews her cud dolefully, the while she
ruminates on the deceit of man.
In his ample farmhouse Francisco storms
and fumes and smites his thigh, and mut
ters things beneath his breath. There ia
a feeling of stifled revenge and longing for
vengeance In the Francisco household, even
the chickens in the yard strut about with
expressions of mortification on their faces,
while the pigs in their pen grunt disdain
fully and squint suspiciously out of their
eyes.
At the hour when chanticleer proclaimed
the morn yesterday and the early worm
turned In his grave in fear of the voracious
chick, there was a violent eruption in' the
hayluft in the Francisco barn. Wisps of
hay were tossed violently upward, a pair of
feet dangled tentatively in the air and soon
there issued forth the body of a man. His
hair was long and matted and hayseed
clung tenaciously to a long unmown set of
whiskers. Suddenly the field of whiskers
was rent by a chasm and the owner of the
body stretched himtselS in a prodigious
yawn,
The Adonifl of the haymow was about to
leave his bed of slumber and bestir himself
for the day's work. The single suspender
which prevented his trousers from gathering
about his ankles was flipped quickly from
one shoulder to the other, the forelock was
whisked away from his eyes, and the day's
toilet was complete. Now to satisfy his
craving for the good things of life.
The barnyard visitor surveyed himself in
the brightness of a milk paii hanging on the
wall, touched his hair deftly here and there,
and nodded pleasantly at the reflection in
the shiny tin. Life was sweet and the
world held much of promise— Ho! for the
eats :
Robs Hen Nest First.
How daintily the sun shone down on tlv«
quiet bucolic stretches of Francisco's acres!
What a symphony of sound broke forth
from the throats of hen and rooster, duck
and pig — ah ! it was a day to live for.
The barnyard Romeo skipped quietly from
the shelter of the barn and cast a cautious
eye across tho yard, where the Francisco
household wa? Ftiil enmeshed in slumber.
The anticipation engendered by the sight of
what he witnessed vhetted the tramp's ap
petite. Surely it were fitting to begin his
breakfast with a couple of eggs, and fresh
eggs were a luxury even to a man of. wealth,
doubly were they so then for a knight t>f
the highways.
Down on hands and knees, to the place
where the fruit of the hen grew in the
greatest profusion, shuffled the tramp.
Two skilled hands picked out the choicest
of Leghorn and Brahma eggs, and a liquid
gurgling told of the passage of the costly
delicacy down the robber's sinewy neck.
The breaking of his fast was beginning
most auspiciously, and the tramp rubbed
the spot beneath his waistband with a
tender touch.
As he emerged from the lien roost the
sight of "Ko-Koe" browsing peacefully in
a nearby field made the long haired
stranger gulp and smack his lips. Here
were food and drink in abundance, to be
had for the asking— and the Lord helps
them who help themselves. This was a
comforting bit of Scripture and it appealed
mightily to the man.
He approached the cow with a con
ciliatory hand outstretched before him,
while he murmured gently, "Co, Bossy;
co. Bo*fv; nice old Bossy!" In a manner
calculated to disarm tiie suspicions of any
trusting cow. From the way in which he
swung the bright milk pall from his arm'
and placed the milkman's stool "Ko-Koe"
felt sure that this was the new hired man.
She submitted in humility and appreci
ation to the expert, who filled the pall with
creamy milk.
After the tramp'E thirst had been satis
fied he ambled back to the barn, where he
surveyed a pair of overalls and a waist
coat, tho property of Francisco. A sus
picious swelling in the pocket of the waist
coat was skilfully reduced by the tramfi.
who extracted therefrom a roll of $61 in
crisp bilL-. A heavy gold watch and chain
were also lifted from another pocket, and
the man felt easier.
As he stepped out into the yard he saw
Francisco walking to the far end of the
barnyard, greeted noisily by the chicken.-,
the pigs and the ducks. With hat In hand.
the Ion? haired one approached the fanner
and told him in excited tones that hi:- wire
had just been bitten by a snake.
Francisco thanked the polite strantrer in
a hurried yell and set forth for the house.
The tramp looked at the frightened farm
er, smiled, and set out across the .'oni
fielu". tu where the woods beckoned hi:n.
When the farmer found his wife still
asleep, with no signs of a snake in the
room, he scratched his head and was
puzzled. Then he slowly made his way to
the field and found the stranger had dis
appeared. Xext, his steps lei to the barn,
where he found his clothing lying on the
Boor, with the pockets emptied.
Within the next five minutes Francisco
and two of his hired men were on the
trail, armed with guns and pitchforks. They
searched the fields and the highways, but
returned home empty-handed and vowing
vengeance. Hereafter Francisco will tdeep
in lsi= barn, and he will have a hot wel
<-ome for all strangers who cross his
threshold.

two others seriously hurt as the result of
an accident in which a Southern Railway
passenger train near West Lake crashed
into a large automobile below Bessemer
about 4 o'clock this afternoon. The dead
are: J. H. Roden. chauffeur, killed out
right, and Miss Augusta Kiser, sixteen
years old, who died after reaching the
hospital.
The automobile, which maintains a reg
ular passenger schedule between Bessemer
and West Lake, was carrying eleven pa: -
sengers to the lake this afternoon. The
machine was almost completely demol
ished. Owing to a steep grade and the
fact that the highway is In a cut, it was
impossible for the chauffeur to s«* the
locomotive. Those of the automobile pas
sengers who escaped ivith injuries state
that the locomotive whistle wa.s not blown
for the crossing.
SEEKS REWARD FOR BETRAYAL
Woman Wants Money for Capture of
Alleged Murderer of Kellner Child.
Kansas City, Mo.. Aug. 7.— Mrs. Cora
Munea, the milliner of Hume. Mo., ror the
love of whom Joseph Wendling, accused
of the murder of Alma Kellner in Louis
ville, betrayed his whereabouts to the
Louisville police, left Kansas City with
Wendling and his captors to-day for Louis
ville. She will be a witness in the murder
cisc against the rnaJi. who told her of his
chateaus in France and wanted to marry
her.
Mrs. Wendling has stood fey her husband,
persistently refusing to believe in bis guilt.
The theory is that Jealousy and the si^'ht
of a rival may cause a change in her at
titude. .
Mrs. Munea's service in the rapture of
Wendling consisted in her supplying In
spector Carney with his address in Val
lejo, Cal., by means of a picture postcard
he had pent her from that point asking
her to write.
